Profiled by Ken Carman for PGA
This exactly what the label says: as if someone made a sticky toffee pudding beer.
Yes, it’s a one note, novelty, brew, but that one note is perfect. I wouldn’t drink bottle after bottle, it could get boring. But it’s, essentially, a desert beer.
Toffee tan with great clarity, though the gravity provides some distortion. Big bubble head with some small and pillow.
Nose- caramel and toffee Aroma same with malt behind that.
Mouthfeel is like a liquid version of somewhat sweet sticky pudding: caramel with a viscosity reminiscent of the caramel pudding I had as a kid. No hops sensed.
Heavy side of medium body. Taste tad sweet: just right for pudding. Caramel lightly carbonated, but this is not candy. Luxurious, rich.
4.
Welcome to the PGA beer rating system: one beer “Don’t bother.” Two: Eh, if someone gives it to you, drink. Three: very good, go ahead and seek it out, but be aware there is at least one problem. Four: seek it out. Five: pretty much “perfecto.”
